Bob Bodansky, Michael Herbst, Suzie Saxman, and Russ Robertson to Speak at Practical Law Webinar "Complying with the Corporate Transparency Act: Understanding the who, what, and when of reporting"

Bob Bodansky, Suzie Saxman, and Michael Herbst, partners in Seyfarth's Corporate department, and Russ Robertson, partner in the firm's Real Estate department, will serve as speakers in the Practical Law webinar, "Complying with the Corporate Transparency Act: Understanding the who, what, and when of reporting," on March 26.

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) became effective on January 1, 2024. Unless covered by one of the 23 exemptions, the CTA requires corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities to (i) report specific beneficial ownership and control information, (ii) disclose information about who created the entity or registered it to do business in the US, and (iii) report any change to previously reported information to the US Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Failure to submit these reports within a specified time period can result in significant civil and criminal penalties
